Ima opened her eyes, just to see that she is inside some room. She could hear someone in the back of the room.
"Oh, you awake?" Mekato said, turning.
"What happend?" Ima said, but suddenly she remembered.
"Wait, your back!" She said.
"It's fine, I bandaged it." He said.
"I'm sorry, for the trouble I've caused..." She said.
"...I shouldn't deserve this." She mumbled.
"No no! It's fine." Mekato quickly said, walking to the kitchen.
He grabbed a pan, eggs and cracked the eggs in the pan.
"I'll make some breakfast, you can look around if you want." He said.
"How does this apartment offer two sleeping rooms when you're the only one living here?" She asked as first.
"Thats because... Fudo and I lived together..." He said.
"Oh, again I'm sorry." She followed up.
"It's okay, you can ask those things." He said.
Ima grabbed a picture.
"You knew him when you were young too?" She said.
"We we're childhood friends." He said.
Ima saw a picture with Mekato, Fudo, a girl and another boy.
"Who are those?" She said.
"Those were my friends." He said.
"The boy in the picture is Tumotu, but he ended up... Forcing Fudo to his death..." He said.
"You worked with him?" He said.
"Yes, but he betrayed our team and left to The Fallen Vex." He said.
"The Fallen Vex, I have been there." She said.
He quickly turned to Ima.
"You did?" He asked.
"Yeah, I was in a capsule and they opened it, they were controlling our mind but I somehow got out of it." She said.
"You were the only one there?" He said.
"No, I was with the Black Scorpion and a boy with black, long hair was with us, probably Tumotu." She said, pointing at Tumotu on the picture.

"Wait! Check your clothes!" He said.
"W-What?! Why!?" She said. Mekato noticed what he said, blushing.
"N-not like that! There might be a GPS tracker on you!" He said quickly.
She ran out of the room and checked her clothes, Mekato closed his eyes.
"I found it!" She shouted, putting her clothes back on.
There was a GPS tracker in the form of a spider on her back.
"Good job, but they now know that we found out. They are probably gonna attack any moment." He said.
"We'll have to leave the apartment as soon as possible- !" Suddenly the door gets kicked open.
"Mekato! Is Ima there!?" Lio shouted.
"I thought she wanted me dead!" He followed up.
Ima grabbed a knife and ran, but Mekato grabbed her arm.
"Don't..." He said.
"If you go now, he'll try to kill you." Mekato followed up.
She let out a sigh, and then hid under the bed.
"Lio? She isn't here..." Mekato said.
Lio walked to him. "Are you sure?" He asked, again.
"Mekato I am sorry..." Ima mumbled, she charged out of the bed, activating her Kurenai, he kicked Lio out of the room, out of the apartment into a wall.
"You liar..." Lio mumbled.
Mekato and Ima ran outside and jumped out of the apartment, ending up infront of Lio.
"So you lie to your entire squad for a person you don't even know!" Lio shouted.
"I indeed don't know her, but I know enough to find out that you're the bad person." He said. Lio grinned.
"Fine... If you want to try and kill me..." Lio activated something, the earth started to shake.
He appeard with 6 wings, three on both sides. He opened his eyes and he got a golden Kurenai.
"...Come get me." He said, grinning.
They both looked shocked.
"H- How?" Ima said.

"I got Dad's Kurenai Blessing, and that gave me this." He said.
"Well..." She mumbled.
"You don't deserve it!" She shouted, summoning her chainsaw and charging to him.
Mekato activated his Kurenai too.
"You betrayed your own sister!" He said, charging straight to Lio too.
They tried attacking but Lio teleported everywhere, dodging all their attacks.
"You call that power?!" He shouted.
"If you can't even beat me, what good are you against Tumotu?!" He shouted.
"You aren't the one allowed to talk! You have no right to talk about Tumotu!" He shouted.
"If you would've been stronger you could've saved Fudo!" He shouted.
"Shut up..." He mumbled.
"What? I can't hear you- !" "I said shut up!" He shouted, teleporting infront of him.
He started kicking and punching him from any side, then uppercutting him into the air. He teleported next to Lio, grabbing his leg and throwing him back down. Lio flied into the ground. The smoke covered everything, but then Lio teleported behind Mekato.
"What?!- !" As Mekato turned he got kicked straight to Ima, they both hit the wall.
"If this continues we'll end up dead..." Ima said.
"I've got an idea." She said.
"Explain." He said. She grabbed his hand, and they looked eachother in the eyes.
"Wait, what are you- " "Not like that! I am just grabbing a little portion of your Kurenai, so we can combine our powers." Ima said, their hearts started to sync.
"That's better." Ima said.
"It is!" Mekato followed up.
"Now let's get him!" Ima said, they both charged.
Attack symmetrical from both sides, making it impossible to block or dodge. Ima clashed her chainsaw with his sword. He noticed Lio whispering something, and when he was smiling. Lio droppped his sword, as the chainsaw hit him. Ima looked shocked, did he get him? There was blood on her chainsaw, so he hit him. Lio dissapeard suddenly. They both had blood on eachother, but was it his blood. They weren't wounded, so it must be Lio's. They both stopped their Kurenai.
"Did we get him?" Mekato asked.
"I don't know, I think so." She said, showing the blood on her chainsaw.
"The chainsaw had poision on it, so either he is dead or is dieing." She said.
"Good to know. Now we can continue with what we were planned." He said.
"What were you planning?-"
"Leaving the city." He said quickly after she finished.
"Let's go." Mekato said.
"Sure." She followed up, ended up walking into the woods and leaving the city.
Mekato was still impressed of the technique they used...

"Operation Black Scorpion is going great, sir." The man in the labcoat said to Tumotu.
"All right, how many are there alive?" He asked.
"No casualties, sir." The man replied.
"Good to know, we can almost activate the plan and start an frontal assault on the upcoming cities-" Harime kicked the door open, she no more had curly hair and she had a red cape.
"We got a problem, from the old mines! Corrupted are climbing up from every side there is!" She quickly said.
"W-what?! Corrupted?!" He shouted.
"Go for code green, right now!" Tumotu said to the man in the lab coat.
The man saluted and ran off, pressing on a green button. In the far north of the continent a mountain opened its mouth, and an aircraft carrier came out of the mountain, sliding into the ocean. Minato lies real close to water, so with this they will be able to attack their city of corrupted.
"Everyone on board!" Tumotu shouted. Ready for a naval and air invasion on Minato.

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.
8 198The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
8 178Artificial Selection: A Near Future Thought Experiment
Michael Livingstone is a literal intellectual prodigy born at an unfortunate time when artificial intelligence has replaced the human workforce, with the only exceptions of art, humanities, and AI development industries. Trust is deteriorating in society with the increasing frequencies of assaults, deception, and terrorism by and against the globalized national government. Michael always relies on his intellectual talent with space and perception along with some of his dauntless risk-taking spirit to escape danger in this society. However, Michael soon finds out that this situation involves way more players, variables, and conflicts of interests than he could calculate. This situation is so much more complex than a protest against unemployment, in fact it is a life-and-death matter -- the survival of humanity's civilization.
